"A cocktail I keep coming back to is the Mexican 75 because it’s such a great combination of flavors and has a lovely tartness I really enjoy. Though having played around a bit with cucumber in cocktails I wanted to see if the “Maid”-family could be combined with sparkling wine. So this is a simple Mexican 75 with mint and cucumber, and it is such a treat!
Since mint can vary in strength you might want to play around with the amount of leaves to find the right balance.
Agave syrup is used as the sweetener so go for a dry sparkling wine so it doesn’t get too sweet.
